Dear Charles Drago,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate them. To my knowledge, no such meeting between Jim Garrison and Robert Kennedy ever took place. If you look, for example, at the transcripts of the televison programs that Garrison did (ABC, etc.) available at the Archives, you can see his perplexity, his wondering why Bobby did not help him, and in fact, as Garrison put it, "torpedoed" his investigation.
When Bobby died, Garrison was upset, and reiterated the point that the only way for Bobby to have saved his own life was to come forward with what he knew.
I talked to Lubic, but did not find him credible. I couldn't use a word of what he told me. This was after "A Farewell to Justice" came out and I was trying to run down a lead that Bobby had addressed a group of Cuban exiles at Homestead Air Force base with Oswald in the crowd. I could not corroborate this information, although I talked to about forty people before I gave up. I pursued this lead more out of curiosity than anything else.
There were several sides to Bobby Kennedy, in my view. I don't "despise" him as someone said on a forum, as if this were something personal. He was an odd figure for me. But that's another story, not what you asked.
Best,
Joan [Mellen]
